Yes, how amazing it is. The little farm-grown soybean is popping up once again. This time researchers have been able to expand the uses of soy bean bi-products to perfect a popular material; candle wax! Below is a brief description of how this up and coming soy wax is produced.

First, soybeans are grown and then picked (or combined, in agricultural terms) on farms around the United States . Next, the beans are crushed and pressed to separate the meal from the oil. Finally, the oil is then processed and additional natural ingredients are added to create the soy wax we use. The process seems simple; however it is far quite the contrary. From a 60 pound bushel of soybeans, 11 pounds of oil is produced. Fortunately, this oil that was once a waste now provides us with a clean and natural product.

Candle wax is just one example of hundreds of uses of this versatile legume. Even today, new uses of soy are being researched because of the abundance and growing potential of this amazing bean. The production and burning of soy wax candles can greatly benefit the American agricultural economy, as well as provide a cleaner and safer household.
